i think this is what you meant?

Code:

ls -la /usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.260.19.44
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1715388 2011-03-16 13:19 /usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.260.19.44

No, execute the command I gave you.

sorry missed the "file" part here's the output

Code:

file /usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.260.19.44
/usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.260.19.44: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, for GNU/Linux 2.3.99, stripped

Try reinstalling the nvidia drivers.

[heater]

when i do the reinstall do i need to uninstall the drivers first

Code:

sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.44 --uninstall

or do i just re-run?

Code:

sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.44

[lithiumc]

Code:

sudo nvidia-installer --update -a -s -f

should work

here is the manpage if you need to know the options.

This read me might be helpful as well:
